Write an Essay on Visual Rhetoric, Controversial Pictures.Some pictures provoke intense public outrage from different religious and ethnic groups. When The Last Temptation of Christ by Nikos Kazantzakis was released in the theaters, several Christian denominations took offense and set fire to the theaters to block the movie’s opening. When Sony produced an album with a Hindu god’s picture on its cover, Hindus worldwide called for a boycott of Sony products, and the album with the offending picture was withdrawn.
Please do your research online to pick one such offensive visual image, and analyze it to examine why it generated public anger and protest, and make a case for whether the picture should have been published or not. Remember: you must weigh both the sides, the artist’s and the public’s, and make a critical judgment in a multi-paragraph essay.
This is a persuasive argument essay.
